Has Anyone Seen Evolution?

Double standards?, nobody has seen, not just God, lots of things we don´t doubt they exist. And, just for the record, there is some evidence in the form of fossiles, DNA samples and, more expecifically, the fact that humans live longer than 40. If medicines were not tested in monkeys and animals we´re more or less related with by DNA, they would not have been applied to human beings. You are the living proof for the theory of evolution.
Evolution is a process, not a THING.
Oh, Jesus... NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A FUCKING DEITY. Evolution is a process, not a conscious being. I'm certain that if you asked any credible scientist about this (or anyone who has a basic understanding of evolution), they would not feel pushed to admit that evolution is not a person. In fact, they would probably think you're a dumbass for thinking that evolution is supposed to be one.
Um, yeah. Evolution is just like the Force ... sure it is.
You'll see evolution if you look hard enough. Tall guy, bald, walks with a slight limp, but a spiffy dresser.
Has Anyone Seen God?
Fix'd!
"Has Anyone Seen Math?
Yep, Evolution can be watched on any beef farm or dairy farm.
Random change combined with natural selection shouldn't be that hard to understand, but clearly it is. Random change is just that: random change. Natural selection means that if you do not die without breeding, your children get to play the game of life further. That's not a rule, you just don't get any children if you don't make any. When there's a right amount of random change combined with a right amount of selection pressure , things adapt, because badly adapted things that don't breed are out of the game, but better adapted things that do breed still have their children in the game. If you fall out of the game, you aren't well adapted to it by definition. Random change guarantees the things aren't all similar, but vary, which makes it likely some thing is better adapted than others. When the amounts of change and selection aren't right things don't adapt and possibly die. Things both adapt and die in the nature, but as long as something adapts and doesn't die, things keep moving. It's more complicated in reality, but that's the core of it.
He didn't express himself well, but it's a common fallacy isn't it? Essentially, that the alternative (in this case to creation) is so improbable and complex that he can't understand it or believe it, so there has to be an intelligent force behind it. Therefore, where is this intelligent force? I know there's a name for this fallacy but I'm having trouble remembering it.
Yes, I'm sure that's the one. Thanks!
"Two questions immediately come to mind after creationists attempt to explain our world and we who live in it and ask questions about who we are and how we got here.
First, who is this “god” person who did these things? Point him/her/it out to me. When pushed, creationist would have to admit that no one has ever seen the invisible entity that has been named “god.”
Is god like the Force of Star Wars that “surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together”? "
That's what you meant to say, isn't it?
Evolutionists don't "attempt" to explain our world. They DO describe diversity and adaptation of life.
Evolution is a natural process, like gravity or photosynthesis. Point photosynthesis out, if you can!
Evolution has been observed. Before the industrial revolution, the pepper moth was beige. During the industrial revolution it was dark gray. Now, when the work towards cleaner air is well on the way, it's reverting to beige again.
If these are the first questions that come to your mind, Stevie, maybe you ought to attempt to read a fifth grade Biology book, before you attempt to debate with educated adults?
“Has Anyone Seen Evolution?”
“Two questions immediately come to mind … who is this “evolution” person who did these things? Point him/her/it out to me.”
“Is evolution like the Force of Star Wars that “surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together”?”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
